Hello all,

Well doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun? It’s a barrel of laughs taking these tablets isn’t it? Just starting week 12 today. I’m still getting spots. They’re no where near as bad as they used to be. I’ve just got the odd few persistant spots under my skin on my cheeks and most of my new spots are coming up under my chin and around my neck and ears. The main worry now is the scars. There is such a marked difference between the red scars on my cheeks and areas where I don’t have scars which have remained normal skin colour. It’s really odd looking. I know they’ll fade eventually. It makes applying make-up an absolute joy…not. I obviously have to put make-up over the scars, but then I have these areas of perfect un-scarred skin which don’t match even if I put make-up on them. I’ve turned into a patch-work quilt!

I’m going on my hols in three weeks. I can’t wait! I’ve spent a bomb on SPF 40 sun cream. I’m currently testing out self-tanning products. There’s no way I’n going within ten feet of a bikini if I’m as pale and interesting as I look at the moment. I’m sporting a variety of different shades of skin, it’s an attractive look. Self-tanned legs, white body except for a very brown natural tan line across my back developed whilst gardening (which I get every year), white arms above the elbow slight tan below, and of course the patch-work quilt effect face. You could nearly mistake me for a model (Lol).

Anyway it’s my day off so I might pack my suitcase up and see if I can still get 10 pairs of shoes in it with all my bottles of sun cream. Take care all.

Im the same - on week 8 and my skin is soooooo dry. It is really red and blotchy and peeling off around my mouth. Trouble is I keep picking at the dry skin hich just makes it redder and redder. I look and feel gross. Oh well onwards and upwards.

This is my 2nd course - i remember on the 1st one my lips and upper arms were the worst. My arms were so dry and itchy i had to have a bath every night and cake them in double base cream. But this time it’s my eyes! They are really dry and it feels like someone is sticking pins in them.

It will all be worth it in the end :-)

Hi, I just read ur entry and i feel like i am totally on the same page as you are. It has probably been just over 2.5 months i have been on roaccutane and yes the occasional spot(s) do flare up but my main worry is the REDNESS..they are like red pigment spots or smth…im really scared…are they actual permanent scars? some have turned purplish too and i have abandoned the idea of make up because it makes my skin purple and just yuck, u know what i mean? so i jst have to walk around with almost ‘red infected cheeks’..it REALLY sucks…and i have to listen to this every time: ‘what happened to your face?’ …ooh the pleasures in life…i really hope they will gooo…its been too long…i dont know how much longer i can cope :(
